The Registrar of the College Alhaji Shuaibu Ahiwa who made this known in a Telephone interview with ABC Yola Correspondent said the reopening followed approval by Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri to that effect.
“During the demonstration, the value of the damaged multimedia centre and some other structures of the College amounted to over sixty-three million naira.
“As such, each student was initially to N10, 500 but Governor Fintiri reviewed it downward to N4, 500 as payment for damages of the destruction considering that majority of the students are from poor family background,” he said.
